Why 10GBase-T and Category 6A Grow Successfully?
There are several reasons behind the growing success of 10GBASE-T and Category 6A. First of all, Category 6A cabling offers a much longer reach than passive SFP+ DAC 100 meters versus 7 meters. This offers greater design flexibility and supports the growing popularity and economics of end of row (EoR) topologies in the data center.
Unlike SFP+ DAC, Category 6A also has the advantage of being an interoperable, standards-based technology that provides backwards compatibility with legacy Gigabit or 100 Megabit Ethernet networks via auto-negotiation.
One of the previous barriers to 10GBASE-T adoption was the power consumption per port compared to other 10Gb/s options. However, improvements in technology have significantly decreased power use to the point where it’s not significantly more than SFP+ DAC in short-reach mode, which at up to 30 meters, still offers a greater distance.
The diameter of Category 6A cable has also been an obstacle to deployment. Fortunately, the next generation of Category 6A cable is smaller at about 7 mm (0.275 inch) in diameter.
Even smaller diameter cables using finer gauge conductors can be manufactured to support 10GBASE-T for shorter distances. However, these cables couldn’t technically be considered standards-based Category 6A compliant.
